VA Smalltalk and microsoft WSE 3 .0

[savagedm]

Can a third party web service created in .net using microsoft's wse 3.0 module with WS-Security specification be invoked from VA smalltalk 7.5?

The short answer is I do not know mainly because I've not seen a WSE 3.0 web service on places like xmethods.net.

However, I can say that I've been able to call most of the web services listed on the xmethods website without an issue.

Thank you tc!! I have been able to invoke web services listed on xmethods also. The problem is I am trying to invoke a web service that is requiring authentication using a certificate. It appears that there is support for username and password authentication. I guess I will have to write to custom code to send and authenticate certificates.

We use .pem files created from a certificate to call a secure webservice.
The .pem files were extracted from the certifcate using openssl

You can connect them to the security configuration:
(SstTransport configurationRegistry at: 'httpsl') securityConfiguration certificateFilename: 'c:\mycertificate.pem'.
(SstTransport configurationRegistry at: 'httpsl') securityConfiguration privateKeyFilename: 'c:\myprivatekey.pem'.

There are also methods in the security configuration for ca certificates but i have not yet used those

Thank you very much benvandijk. I will see if I can get it to work for us.
